HEIFER PROJECT
The Most Important Catalog in the World
A bold statement but we think it's true.
You decide to donate a sheep in honor of your mother, who has always loved these gentle animals.
Your mother receives a holiday gift card from you describing the generous contribution you've made in her honor.
Thanks to your gift, one more family is on the road to self-reliance.
Once the family has completed training and has prepared appropriate facilities, they then receive a healthy female sheep.
Throughout the year, the sheep provides soft, warm wool and the promise of new hope for this family.
The family gives one or more of its sheep's offspring to another to another family in need in the community. That's part of the " passing on the gift " tradition that participants agree to when they become partners with HEIFER INTERNATIONAL . Heifer also ensures there's a healthy male sheep in the village for breeding. The second recipient family agrees to contribute one or more of their sheep's offspring to a family in need -- who then also agree to pass on the gift.
Like a stone dropped into still water, your gift ripples over the years to come, ending poverty,hunger and despair for families Villages...perhaps one day even the entire countries.
And that's why we think this is the most Important Gift Catalog in the World
Outreach will once again be offering you the opportunity to donate animals or shares for your gift giving. The giving tree will be up in the Sanctuary during December and the Outreach committee will be glad to assist you.
